Spatial Sounds
scans the space for visitors, then spins up to 100 km/h
in a circle, varying speed and direction. Understatement from the
artist: "Closer investigation
would be tempting fate, with the rotating arm swinging so powerfully
round . . . You can feel the displacement of air as the speaker whizzes
past you, and you had better step back, out of reach."
Indeed. The effect is apparently a bit more subtle than just a spinning
speaker, however: the artist and visitors describe an organic quality
to its movement as you move through space — i.e., sometimes it follows you. The effect of the interaction and the sound seems both scary and sublime.
